SMJ Literature Positioning
Positions Strategic Management Journal manuscripts within live academic debates and identifies high-impact theoretical gaps.
SMJ Literature Positioning guides management scholars in structuring academic literature reviews and introduction sections specifically for the Strategic Management Journal (SMJ). It helps researchers move beyond chronological annotated bibliographies by framing their research question within active scholarly debates, organizing prior findings by theoretical position, elevating empirical context gaps to high-value mechanism or tension gaps, and properly anchoring contributions against foundational and recent SMJ corpus citations to prevent desk rejects.
